Planning a European tour soon? Whether you’re visiting Paris, exploring Rome, or taking in the beauty of Switzerland, preparation is key.
At Hommyben Travels, we’ve compiled the top European travel tips to make your journey smooth, enjoyable, and easy on your pocket.
🧳 BEFORE YOU GO
1. Visa & Travel Documents
Check if you need a Schengen Visa (applies to most non-EU visitors). Apply at least 4 weeks early to avoid delays. Carry copies of your passport, visa, travel insurance, and bookings. Bring a student or youth ID (like ISIC) to enjoy discounts on attractions and transportation.
2. Travel Insurance
Mandatory for Schengen Visa approval. Protects against medical emergencies, trip cancellations, theft, or lost luggage. Compare insurance plans before booking for best coverage and price.
3. Currency Tips
The Euro (€) is common in most EU countries, but not all (e.g., Denmark uses DKK, Sweden uses SEK). Use travel or multi-currency cards like Wise or Revolut for best exchange rates. Avoid airport exchanges — their rates are usually poor.
🚆 TRANSPORTATION
4. Trains & Buses
Explore Europe affordably using Eurail Pass (non-EU residents) or Interrail Pass (EU residents). For long-distance buses, try FlixBus, BlaBlaCar Bus, or Eurolines. Book tickets early to secure cheaper fares.
5. Public Transport Tips
Use metro, trams, or bikes in major cities. Buy daily or weekly travel passes — cheaper than single rides. Must-have apps: Google Maps, Rome2Rio, and Moovit for route planning.
🏨 ACCOMMODATION
6. Stay Smart
For budget travelers: Hostels via Hostelworld or Booking.com. Traveling in groups or for longer stays? Try Airbnb. For adventurous travelers, use Couchsurfing — free stays with locals!
🍝 FOOD & DRINK
7. Eat Like a Local
Avoid overpriced tourist restaurants near major attractions. Explore local markets, bakeries, and street food for authentic taste. Tap water is safe in most European countries (check locally in Eastern Europe).
🌍 CULTURE & SAFETY
8. Cultural Etiquette
Learn basic phrases like “Hello,” “Thank you,” and “Excuse me.” Dress modestly when visiting churches or conservative areas. Tipping isn’t mandatory but 5–10% is appreciated.
9. Safety Tips
Be alert for pickpockets in busy tourist spots (Paris, Rome, Barcelona). Use an anti-theft backpack or money belt. Keep valuables close and avoid displaying cash or expensive devices.
📶 TECH & CONNECTIVITY
10. Stay Connected
Buy a European SIM card (e.g., Orange Holiday, Vodafone, Lycamobile). Use free Wi-Fi at airports, hotels, and cafes. Bring a universal travel adapter – Europe mainly uses 220V with plug types C & F.
📅 OTHER SMART TRAVEL TIPS
Travel during shoulder seasons (April–June or Sept–Oct) for lower prices and fewer crowds. Pack light – budget airlines have strict luggage limits. Keep small coins handy for public toilets, buses, and small tips.
💡 Conclusion
Your European adventure should be stress-free and unforgettable.
With these tips, you’ll save money, travel smarter, and experience Europe like a local.
